I spotted a adult Bald Eagle preening feathers in a large tree along Hwy 50 @ Hwy UU outside of Union, MO. What a stunningly handsome bird. This is my first in the flesh sighting. The Bald Eagle is a regal creature and I feel blessed to have seen one in person.

Think I saw a bald eagle flying east along Missouri River over the Heart of America Bridge in North Kansas City today about 9:20 AM, Tuesday, February 11th. Was surprised to see it, but know they have been up at Smithville Lake just north. Have seen them a few times before. Was surprised to see it so close to the city. Very cool.

I live in Illinois. We have year round eagles with nest in Alton, Smithtown, Centerville, and other areas. We get wintering eagles...more this year than in the past 2 years. The majority this year are in Clarksville, Mo.C. Pride

I just spotted a Bald Eagle flying over my house, 4 ½ miles East of Lone Jack, MO, about ½ of a mile south of Missouri 50 Highway. The eagle soared, circled, and appears to have landed in a clump of trees behind my house! 10:50 am January 6, 2014.

We were coming back from the KCI airport and spotted two eagles just North of Platte City, MO on the Platte River. We just had to turn around and get a couple of pictures of this beautiful pair perched over the river bank.

Around 1:30 PM on December 26, 2013 I saw an bald eagle soaring over the Winghaven sub-division in O'Fallon Missouri. The eagle was soaring between Phoenix and Winghaven on the subdivision side of I40/65. At first in the car I saw it overhead and when I got home I ran into to get a camera but I was unable to get picture. Pure white head brown body and white tail. soared in the distance and then came back. It was over the area for at least 15 minutes so Hopefully someone else in subdivision saw it also.

I saw a bald eagle on 12/23/2013 perched in a sycamore tree on the West side of Rush Creek Southwest of my house on Raines road East of Liberty Missouri. I had time to set up my telescope and confirm that it was a bald eagle and let my wife see it before it flew away to the West.

I think I just spotted a bald eagle flying through my parents' neighborhood in Affton, Missouri. Affton is a southwestern suburb right outside of St. Louis. It was flying fairly low, and it's white head was very visible. It was soaring more than flying and seemed to be taking in the sights. Hawks are seen around here, too. I consider the area to be fairly wooded. Exciting!

I saw a bald eagle today over a cut corn field. It was on Rt. 407, just west of Rt. 27 in Carroll County, Maryland. Very cool.Steve Monroe

Maryland. Montgomery County. My husband and I (and our neighbors once they saw us looking up) saw a bald eagle in a tall tree near our cul de sac in Silver Spring, Md. We live in a neighborhood off of Bonifant Road, between New Hampshire Ave and Layhill Road (near the ICC) which is very near where another couple had a sighting a year ago tomorrow. It was around 7:45 this morning. Pretty cool. We looked for mate but only saw the one.Jay and Mary Susan Forsythe

I saw a male bald eagle circling in O'Fallon, Missouri. Hwy 70, Veterans Blvd and Hwy K.
It was awesome to see the flight and such a majestic bird.Suzanne Scott

On 1/27 South of Liberty on 291 highway and Missouri river bridge a Bald Eagle flew over the bridge and along the river.
1/21 and 1/22 At the grand river overflow on highway 36 west of Chillicothe I saw a Bald Eagle two days in a row flying over the bridge. At Higgins ditch on highway 36 on the south side of the highway west of Brookfield. I saw a Bald Eagle sitting in a tree at the water edge two days in a row.

Liberty, Missouri -- Bald Eagle sighting along the north side of Rush Creek, perched high in a tree. This is right across the creek from the Martha Lafite Thompson Nature Sanctuary. A Bald Eagle in my backyard! Spotted and photographed on 1/27/2013.Cheryl Novick

While looking out my back door today saw a bald eagle flying in circles, around approximately the Clark Lane and Interstate 70 area, near the Lake of the Woods exit. There are creeks and ponds in the general vicinity and this is on the northeast side of Columbia. As far as I know eagles are usually seen around the Eagle Bluffs Conservation area which is a good 10 miles or more away, southwest of Columbia.Tammy McPherson

Two times last week I saw a bald eagle eating road kill on Hwy 87 just south of Glasgow, MO. About 2 months ago I saw a bald eagle feasting on road kill on Hwy 87 north of Booneville, MO. What a thrill it is to see it once, but 3 times! I wonder if it is the same eagle?

On Saturday, December 23, I saw three majestic full-grown bald eagles which had been resting on a hillside behind my house and flew when I unknowingly disturbed them. This was near Webb City, Missouri, Jasper County, Southwest Missouri. The hillside is on the Center Creek River valley. They flew roughly west following the river. This is the first ever sighting for me here, and, I have to say, I sincerely hope it is not the last.
